We decided to try Run Pig Run as it is one of the new and hot spots on 17th ave. It started well, we were easily able to get a spot for two on a Saturday evening. Their cocktail menu was good and cocktails were quite nice. Presentation of the "smokey b-" drink (can't remember it's full name) was quite fun - I won't spoil it for those of you wanting to try it. However, the food was a little disappointing. Apparently the menu was recently updated and the restaurant is only a few weeks old. We tried a number of small plates and felt the only really great piece were the pork ribs which had a nice honey glaze on them. The avocado pork belly toast had barely any pork, the poutine was just "eh" (no canadian pun intended), and the fried chicken had a really smokey mustard and strange after taste that was not my favourite. The service was a little bit slow, no water refills, seats were very close together, and the vent kept blowing out cold air. Overall, still a new restaurant that needs to hopefully work on spicing up their menu and environment. For cocktails though, they are spot on!
